Dead. Coronavirus is now the number one cause of death in the u. S. This week, and we havent even seen that post thanksgiving peak. The new model predicts almost 500,000 deaths by april. This pandemic is in a free fall right now. And the president doesnt care about it, joe biden who says he will ask americans to wear a mask for the first 100 days, saying tonight he doesnt think that will have to be mandatory. I dont think masks have to be made mandatory nationwide. I will do nefrg everything in my power to encourage people to do the right thing and demonstrate that it matters. I want you to listen what he says about the current president s misinformation. One of the things that bothers me the most is the wild assertions that the Administration Says its going to go away, and inject bleach, all those things. Who could forget the lowest low point. I see a disinfectant knocks it out in a minute, one minute, is there a way we can do Something Like that, by injection inside, or almost a cleaning. You see, it gets in the lungs. You know, historians will decide looking back what role that ridiculous display played in costing trump his presidency. But his mismanagement about the pandemic is still costing american lives. More than 278,000 so far. That as we are learning the Trump Administration blocked bidens Transition Team meeting at at the pentagon this week. And just days after his own hand picked attorney general risked this president s wrath by acknowledging what everybody know there is knew, there is no widespread voter fraud. Does the intelligence show that foreign adversarities are amplifying the voter fraud allegations . There are. Who is doing that . I cant tell you. But they are. Yeah. And what is their objective . To under mine Public Confidence in the democratic processes. There you go, and chris krebs, a patriot, saying this. There are things more important than a fouryear term. This American Experience in democracy in general is fragile. You have to care for it, you have to neutral nurture it, and the attacks under mines confidence is very dangerous. I dont know what is next but we got to make sure we continue providing support to democracy. Well, you have to care about you have to care and you have to nurture democracy. That is how you make america great. Instead, this president is using the final days of his term to tie to burn down the free and Fair Elections and he is emboldening supporters to take the crazy train farther down the line. Scott ogrady, a former Fighter Pilot on twitter, calling his election loss a coup, a coup attempt and sharing tweeting suggesting trump should claim martial law. And tweeting a petition declaring trump to call for martial law and order a new election. I want to you listen to me, okay. This is this is crazy. And i hate to be blunt. If you believe this, what does it say about you . None of it is true. All of it is being shot down by the courts. Its shot down by reality and facts. Its all not true. Do not be hoodwinked by this. Dont fall for the okayky doak. This is crazy. This is exactly the right word for it and i will add, dangerous do that. Its crazy dangerous. A former National Security adviser calls for martial law to over turn the results of the he will election . Come on, really . And a coup attempt just because his candidate last . The president of the United States repeatedly spreading such ridiculous claims. And twitter constantly marks his tweets disputed. They know it was a fixed election. It was a rigged election. They know it. That is a lie. And he knows it. He is deliberately lying to you. To the american people. To save his wounded pride. I dont know what that says about what he thinks about you. I know there are people i have heard from you. Who believe it. Its nuts. Its not true. Im sorry to tell you, its not true. He is lying to you. The president and his number one defender, rudy giuliani, they are continuing to push doomed lawsuits, more than 30 of them. Thrown out since election day. The latest is wisconsin. Arizona, nevada, today. Do they enjoy losing the same states over and over and over again for a month straight . Like i said, this president , he just cannot accept the reality that he lost, even as more and more members of his administration are reading the writing on the wall. The cdc director admitting he is on his way out and praising the coworkers he will leave behind. They will continue to guide our nations response to the pandemic after were gone. Even Kellyanne Conway admitting reality. If you look and the vote totals in the Electoral College tally, it looks like joe biden and Kamala Harris will prevail. In the face of all this, the president taking out his hurt feelings on the republican governor of georgia and he is doing it on the rallies to support Kelly Loeffler and david perdue. They said he blasted trump in as a moran and nut job in a recent phone call, and people around the president are panicked about the run offs. Gee, do you suppose this has anything to do with it . I want to you go to the governors mansion. I want to you circle it. I want to you blow your horns. Until ryan kemp comes out and orders a special session of the georgia led Georgia Legislature and then he can resign. And as far as im concerned, lock him up lock him up lock him up wow. What about this . I think i would encourage all georgians to make it known that you will not vote at all until your vote is secure. Okay. Encourage people not to vote. That happened to the president. He discouraged them not to vote by mail. Look what happened. You know, do your thing. Like i said, expect peak trump crazy. Listen to what the former president barack obama has to say about all this. This is not just about georgia. This is about america and this is about the world and its in your power to have an impact. Can joe biden meet the challenges that lie ahead, the worst of all may be the pandemic, and biden says its worse for communities of color. Between ideas and inspiration, trauma and treatment. Gained a couple of more pounds. Thats good for the babies. Between the moments that make us who we are, and keeping them safe, private and secure, theres webex. Beautiful.

Anthony fauci is confirming that he accepted the offer to work with president elect joe biden on the spot. The biden team is trying to move forward with plans. We learned tonight the Trump Administration is still blocking their efforts. We want to bring in our guests. Hello, also, i think his razor broke this week because he is not shaved. Its good to see both of you. Mark, so the Trump Administration blocked bidens Transition Team from meeting with their counterparts at the pentagon this week. This is not a game. They are monkeys arouing about the National Security. That is no question about it. They are acting like the president s ego is bigger than the americas democracy. This is the Christmas Parties at the white house. This is the national defense. So for them to be slow walking this, is literally putting our countrys security at risk just for the sake of making one persons ego happy. I will ask you a question i have been asking you for four years now, maybe five, i think i know the answer. But i will let you how can the gop support this and are they willing to own it . Its not the gop anymore, don. Its the trump party and i predicted before the election that he was going to run for 2024, and in an effort to maintain power over that coalition, to maintain the power that he has politically, become his party. So i its clear to me hes going to go do all he can to disrupt the presidency, to continue the myth this was stolen from him and he wants to serve revenge, serve it cold and serve it in person. Keerkeersten, i hear about v fraud, and then the case is thrown out. And they are giving false hope to people who actually believe that january 21 thats donald trump will be the president and that aint going to happen and the election is not going to be overturned. What . What is going on . Well, theyre going to always think that President Trump really won. So hes not a loser. Hes a winner. Theyre going to always believe that the democrats stole the election, that joe biden is not a legitimate president. And President Trump has raised now about 200 million off this grift. Yesterday, 205 million, i think, yesterday. 207 million. Largely from small donors, people he is lying to and people who are told a completely false story that are sending money in that he can do pretty much anything he wants to. Its really it is pretty mind blowing but i think there is a method to the madness, and there is one person who benefits from it and that is of course donald trump. But what i will let you finish. But when do you snap out of the haze or the dream or whatever it is, the zombie mode, when one case after another is thrown out. And i heard, listen, nevada, its in court now, and nevada is thrown out, and arizona is thrown out, and so when do you wake up from your haze . I dont think i dont know that these people are in a haze. I think they consuming information they are fed that is completely false. So the person they trust is donald trump, and donald trump is telling them this. And they dont trust anybody, anything who parrots what he says. So they are getting they are believing the stories. The stories there were suitcases that were pulled out from underneath the table. That was debunked today. They get debunked when they never never hear the part where its debunked. So i think the people who are responsible for it are the leaders and that is to the point of what mark was saying. This is a party of trump. This is a counterfactual, and is it possible that if the republicans and people at fox news said we are not going to go along with this, maybe it wouldnt have happened in they have some responsibility, its not just that there is nothing they can do . I mean, whose fault is that . Well, right on about that. Mark, lets dig into it a little mitt bit more. Joe biden is going to get buy in from the other side if he needs to get stuff done, and the president elect would not say if he talked about the coronavirus relief. Watch this exchange. Mitch mcconnell has not signed off on the compromise bill. What makes you confident you will get republicans to go big once youre in office . Well, because the country is going to be dire, dire, dire straits if they dont. Have you reached out to Mitch Mcconnell . Have you spoken yet . We will be in dire straits. Why beat around the bush . Why not just say yes or no . I think its because Mitch Mcconnell is throwing up a wall. Mcconnell doesnt want to before the georgia election, as long as he can slow walk the notion that joe biden is the actual president. I think that biden doesnt want to create a rift with mcconnell. But im absolutely certain he doesnt want to play into it. Yeah, they have a long history and i know that biden is counting on that historical relationship once this georgia thing is passed and they have the senate figured out. Either way it goes, it will be important. I dont think he wants to push it further. Its good for him to be doing. Its practical and smart. Okay, speaking of practical. Lets look at the evidence here, and stay on the subject, kooers its a Different Senate than when we was vptd, and when he was Vice President , the senate, many of the same people, refused to work with him. Said that his boss wasnt born in the country. So they were going to make him a oneterm president. Refuse to work with obama. And saying what they did was wrong, they spied on them and they tapped him, whatever. And then now, refusing to say that he is the president elect of the United States. He beat trump by more than 7 million votes. But people still dont believe it. What makes him think this senate is going to work with him . I think it will be great. He has to reach out. But is this the reality . Is that ever going to happen . I think that if youre joe biden, what other choice do you have . You have to if youre sitting where hes sitting, his attitude is, im going to try to try to make this work. Up to this point, there havent been many good faith efforts coming from Mitch Mcconnell or coming from the republicans but because i have a long standing relationship with them, because i worked with them, maybe we can do something different. I dont know what else he can do. He tries it and doesnt get any where, i do think that i understand if you are joe biden, this is what you do and this is fundamentally who joe biden is. And is he really a man for his time . Is he a type of person ma possibly could bring some type of bipartisanship in the country . Absolutely. And if its anyone, he can. And as president of the United States, he has a bully pulpit and a lot of the job is to change the way things aoperate, to change the way that people think about things. That is what he is going to try to two. That is what he ran on. Im in the sure that is what 7 Million People voted for. The core of the party was upset. He continually tried to work with republicans and they kept stone walling him. And that is when he had to do executive orders. What makes joe biden think things will be different . He has been there 40 years. He knows a lot of senators. He has worked with them before and given the stakes that once we got past the inauguration, theres going to be ten republican senators that will work with biden. I hope youre right. I dont see it. I do not see it. I hope. I am a Glass Half Full person but i dont see it considering what we have been through in the past four years and the lack of reality we are living in, from a big part of the country, who keep the faith, man. Three out of four Trump Supporters dont even believe hes the president. Good luck, thank you. Well be right back. Experience the power of sanctuary at the lincoln wish list sales event.

Were going to give togetherness. Logistically, its been a nightmare. Im not sure its going to work. Itll work. I didnt know you were listening. President elect joe biden has says he will not impose national mandates to wear a mask or get a Covid Vaccine but he will encourage means to do it voluntarily. The question is, will people listen . Lets talk to valley jarret, the author of the book finding my voice. Thank you for joining. Good to see you. I hope huh a good thanksgiving. Nice to be with you. You know joe biden. He is planning to ask the country to wear a mask for the first 100 days. S a it is a big test to see the sway he has with the american people. Dont you think . I do. I only wish that President Trump had done the same thing when the pandemic first began. I think leadership is important. Leadership from the top. Sending a message we have to follow the scientists. It was hard i was so happy to h president elect asked dr. Fauci to stay on. 72 of americans say it bothers them when people around them in public do not wear masks. Maybe he is leading with something most people can get behind. Well, it sure bothers me, and no new york, you know, don, most people doer wi wear masks, and think that peer pressure makes a big difference, and everyone should encourage everyone they know to wear a mask, social distance, try to follow the science, so i am encouraged by the tone and the message coming from president elect biden right now. I have family members who live in red states and they say at work, some people will not wear masks and when they call authorities about it, they dont even come. So if youre not going to mandate that, how do you change that . I think the tone does start at the top. Part of the reason why they dont wear masks is they havent seen their president wear masks. So i think modeling Good Behavior is important. And peer pressure is pont. And now we are seeing its e and many people are saying, i watched the president. He wasnt Wearing Masks and now i know, i lost a loved one. I have been sick myself. Swe have to continue to tell the stories not just from the top but every day americans who did not follow the signs and suffered the consequences after it and im worried about the hospitals being overtaken by this. We know Health Care Workers have been working for months, putting them s themselves in arms way, and we have no choice. We have to continue to set the tone and encourage people to follow the signs. Valerie, the president elect is getting pressure to get people of color in cabinet spaces. Would you commit to nominating a person of color to
